Afternoonified

This week you're getting the whiskey and chicken blood-soaked truth about Voodoo because the most metal of regional religions deserves it. There's history, there's music, there's definitely a difference between Voodoo and Hoodoo!

Emily sets a bedtime mood with the tale of a girl named Two Eyes, her sisters One Eye and Three Eyes, and a goat.

Throughout the ages b*tches have been crazy. Sort of...not at all. From wandering wombs to pockets full of smelling salts to things we can't put in a public podcast description, women have gotten the short end of the stick and we're here to tell you why.

Afternoonified goes full Sorry Not Sorry as Emily takes the lead for her own mystery topic. Things are pretty icky as the girls discuss the usage of corpse medicine, the history of cannibalism in ancient man, and yes...Jeffrey Dahmer.

Sara and Emily agreed to surprise each other with topics and Sara chose...three creepy stories about twins. There's a small touch of science, a lot of air quotes and use of the word "allegedly," as we explore the Jim Twins, the Pollock Twins, and June & Jennifer Gibbons.

It's a Catacular episode featuring the cattiest human we could think of! Sara Iyer of The Purrrcast joins in to talk about how cats came to be pets, why they were gods, and how to make a really, really good soup. Come for the guest host, stay for the political banter and cat mayors.

They didn't make it, they weren't in it, they didn't even sell popcorn at theaters that were showing it. Regardless, Emily and Sara have recorded an audio commentary for the 2014 horror film, As Above, So Below. Please don't sue us, Ben Feldman.

IT'S REALLY HAPPENING! Emily finally gets to take everyone on a tour of a handful of famous catacombs. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll...find out what the pelvis room is connected to.

Sara has gathered a handful of animals that once were and are no more...or are they? There's talk of mammoths in Siberia, millions of birds and Emily does some research on what Tasmania has to offer the world.

Emily and Sara admitted that, much like Jon Snow, they know nothing about ships and invited Joe from the wildly popular Thinking Sideways podcast to come help them out. There's tales of frozen bodies, Kraken attacks, and possibly even pirates!

Grab your boots and hitch up the covered wagon, we're going west! or at least as far west as Labette County, Kansas where a mysterious family caused a whole lot of trouble and really messed up an orchard. It's the Bender family!

Come with us... and you'll be...in a world of accidental mummification It's bog bodies! Sara got the deets on some of the more famous preserved corpses dragged out of bogs. Meanwhile, Emily doesn't handle information well.

In what can only be described as a lapse in judgment, Emily ate an edible and tried to do an episode. Most of the history is here along with a discussion about King Arthur, Christmas during World War I, and some tips on how to not get kidnapped by a bigfoot.

With a topic of this magnitude, a third party had to be called in. Shane Hosea joins the ladies to talk about how Dungeons & Dragons came to be...and all the drama after that.

In a very special bonus episode, Emily and Sara explore the origins of this holiday for jerks.

Emily requested, Sara delivered. It's an episode all about one of the more mysterious roadside attractions in the US. Listen as Sara describes the alleged history and contents of the house while Emily descends slowly into madness trying to process it all!

Amidst other discussions about what constitutes as cannibalism and the concept of a Jason Momoa/Lady Gaga Freaky Friday remake, Emily manages to tell Sara all about the lesser known varieties of Vampires. From the Carribean to Thailand, there's something gross for everyone!

There's a conspiracy a(big)foot and the word bullsh-t gets thrown about a lot. Disclaimer: we’re a comedy podcast, and also we think David Paulides is a hack so if you don’t want to listen to us dunk on him for an hour, then maybe don’t bother.

Emily and Sara learn about Barbie's weird German origins, how many jobs she's had, and how many members of the Roberts family there really are. There's also dumb games, Emily forgets how to read and the girls pitch their Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse fancast.

There's more to December than just Christmas, you know. In an effort to shed some light on other holidays, the girls set Christmas aside and get to the bottom of what else people are celebrating. They even take some cues from them and workshop their own holiday.

Ryan tries her hand at the paranormal this week with chilling stories of baby ghosts, murder victims, and a colony of melonheads. There's a whole lot about this strange urban legend and almost as many random tangents that Emily gets set off on.

It's the 51st episode and there was pretty much only one thing our consciences would let us do for this! Skepticism is abound as Emily and Ryan try to explain the timeline and some of the conspiracies surrounding this government facility. Because that's what it is...a f*cking government test facility.

SHANE HOSEA IS BACK! It's also our official 50th episode, but that's a little less exciting. Shane makes good on his promise to return and learn us a few more things about the world of professional wrestling. Spoiler: We found out what The Rock was cookin'. It's not great.

Why do cats purr and dogs poop north? How do birds know where to go? Do Elephants REALLY practice their own religion? For once, we can answer the hard questions and we're gonna fill you in on these and more weird animal behaviors! Think of us as your own personal David Attenboroughs.

It's not all farts, disease, and skeletons here at Afternoonified. That's why we decided to class it up and offer a crash course on how the best food in existence is made. There's history, there's wine pairings, there's...fart noises, actually.
